I lost my monkey on Bourbon St.

What a glorious mini vacation this past weekend!!! My honey flew me down to Baton Rouge, LA to see him :) I'm one lucky girl!! Our plan was to go down to NOLA Friday night, kick it with our friends, then chill back at Matt's Saturday...I love making plans, then finding better ones!

From the airport we drove down to New Orleans and met up with Stu - who by the way is the best host EVER!! And I'm sure I said that 1,000 times Friday night on Bourbon St lol. He hooked it up with a free hotel all weekend, free parking, and our own personal tour guide of Bourbon Street Friday night!!! After being in our room for 5 minutes, Matty looks at me and says, yeah I think we'll stay 2 nights :) !!! YAY! Friday night was a blast!!! Our goal was to EAT before drinking even though we weren't hungry..but we knew where the night would take us if we didn't... So we ate in the Casino of course!! Matts first time...:) We had a lot of first this weekend...like always...and like fifty ;)

We did some gambling and drinking..then all headed down to Bourbon Street!! Check that off my bucket list!!! Was a great crowd!! Not too many though. I felt like Bourbon Street just kept going and going...it was awesome for my bar ADD! and drinking in and out of the bars- amazing!! NOLA has it down!! No cover charges...drinking on balcony's!! I could get use to this town!!! Then OMG we ate THE BEST Burrito EVER!!! We were chillin in this bar...and all of the sudden got super hungry...Stu looks at us and says, "oh they have tacos here". Matt and I looked at each other, mouth's dropped open! SAWWEET! We stood at the Taco bar, I ordered a veggie Burrito and proceeded to stuff my face for the next 5-7 minutes...no talking, no drinking, just pure stuffing my face with the most delicious tasting Burrito I have ever had! Thank you Burrito bar!

After that, I just remember thanking Stu for being the best host ever...walking down Bourbon Street what felt like kept going for miles...and thinking to myself or out loud..we should do a hangover/beer fest movie here!! Because frankly that's what I felt like :)

Being we had walked for "miles"...matt and I were ready to hit the hotel...we cabbed it back...just to walk to the CVS for contact solution for yours truly! Poor Matt practically drug me down the street...whining it was too far lol.. God I love that man! Back in the room..i'm pretty sure he took out my contacts because that's what he does when I've had one too many... and hey... it was bourbon street! He's so fucking thoughtful...he stayed more sober then me so I could have a good time - my first time on bourbon St.. Damn I'm lucky! :) 

Saturday was our day to be a tourist.. walk around, shop, do a little day drinking.. eat, listen to some amazing jazz on the streets...see the Mississippi River! SHOP! Got to see good ole Bourbon St during the day :) then it was off to another first...our very first Tattoo Convention!!! Boy did we luck out on this weekend!!! Had no clue it was going on.. always wanted to go to one.. and always wanted to get inked at one... So we did.. My honey wine, dined, and tatted me up this weekend!! (my very own christian grey)

Saturday evening was glorious as well!! We stayed in bed ;)

Sunday time to adventure out to where he's living and eat some crawfish and of course bless his camper! It was a fantastic mini vaca with my honey and friends! Can't wait to go back!

Cheers ~
